I use this walker day and night because of my severe arthritis and weakness. It is easy to maneuver in my small duplex, or on the grass when I go to sport events. I use the seat for placing things on when I move from room to room. I would not be mobile without this device. I highly recommend it. I am 76 and a retired RN and live by myself. The brakes are wonderful and it turns on a dime.

yes. Because my mother has trouble lifting her legs, how awkward is this bar as opposed to separate foot rests. I notice some walkers with bars have been discontinued by manuafacturers and I see some info on line where users have tipped forward in them. Feedback please. And who manufacturers this particular walker? jana

Best Answer:Thank you for your question. Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, we are contractually obligated not to provide any manufacture information including brand name. As far as separate footrests compared to the joint footrest this is something that is determined by the individual user. Some people prefer joint while other prefer separate. Please note, this footrest can be folded to be out of the way. We hope this information will be of help to you.
